    Yea the 20th on looks like GOLD!! But if can make a suggestion on a trip for you I'd say go down to PR or even the Dominican and just kick it for a while. Crowds will be down a bit and youll still have winter swell.

    yea my current game plan is go down to puerto for a month or something. Then ill come back home for a week or so and hop on this french canadian chicks micro hippiebus and go across canada with them cause canadas about to legalize weed in january, and then hit the west coast from tofino BC down to wherever its good in cali or baja, before driving back up to Nor cal, stashing my car and the bus and heading to hawaii for the rest of the spring.

    But im curious to see how the rabid frothing forum hordes would do it instead because i bet they got some better trip ideas.

    Indo...not sure how long 8K would keep you going, but it would get you there and back.

    Forget PR, the place sucks now (socially speaking, crowded breaks, etc)
    I like the Indo idea. There will come a day you will no longer be able to go (age, job, marriage, etc); go while you can. The more remote the better (if even that exists anymore anywhere on the planet).

    im doing a fire season in australia in a year or two. I figured id save indo, new zealand, fiji, tazmania, and that whole part of the world for then because ill already be over there. Can probably save up enough over the next few years to do a solid 3 or 4 year journey through those parts.

    Makes sense; sounds like a plan.
    I hope you do not, then, run into the girl of your dreams. <grin>

    As much as I love the Caribbean, I'd say Algarve and north.

    I dunno man...I gots kids, a wife, a house, and a demanding job. If I could squeeze it in, I would do Kauai for 10 days at some point in Jan/Feb/Mar, then I would swing down to centro for another 10 days. Nothing too gnarly or intense travel-wise, but I'm down for getting quality waves.

    yea 8 grand is a little low,id like to explore the remote islands in Fiji and the atolls.u see 1 epic wave like cloudbreak,thats part of like a 200 island chain,theres bound to be better waves around the corner.but 8 grand,it costs like 3 grand to fly there since u cant fly straight there from the states.then u have to pay for ur room/boards/drugs,etc...

    my dream trip would be to go back in time 40 years and get to surf the northshore while it was still vacant,sleep in a tent on the beach,and drink all day.thats how those old Hawaiians did it lol...
    its amazing how prosurfing sold out the northshore,40years ago u could get a house at pipeline for roughly 40grand,now its around 6-10 million!!!!!I wish I was alive in the old days

    This time of year, I'd do the Caribbean for Jan - Mar, then jump to the Pacific (CR and Nica) for April and May when the South swells start pumping.
